"That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of," Ciel commented. But it seems like something that Alois would love... Should I ask? He thought to himself. He decided, on instinct, that he should at least try to ask his secret crush. Yes, Ciel Phantomhive had a crush on his best friend, Alois Trancy. They had been inseparable since kindergarten when Ciel moved into the house right next to Alois's. He started to think of Alois as more than a friend when middle school started. They are now both in 8th grade with all of the same classes. They couldn't be happier, and that's why Ciel didn't confess his feelings. He didn't want to ruin the relationship they had now.
                          
With his mind made up, he ripped the dance information paper off of the wall and put it in his backpack. Just as he hid it, he felt two slender arms wrap around his neck. 
                          
"What do you want, Alois? " Ciel asked, fighting back his growing blush.
                          
"Awe. How did you know it was me?" Alois let go of Ciel so he could turn around. They looked deep into each other's eyes. 
                          
"No one else would ever touch me in that manner."
                          
"You're no fun," Alois pouted. His demeanor quickly changed. "Hey! Did you see the posters for the dance? It will be our first dance ever!" 
                          
"What makes you think I'm going?" Ciel lied as he looked away stubbornly and started to walk to the entrance of the school. Alois followed him, since they walked home together everyday.
                          
"Oh... Okay then," Alois said, sadly, looking at the ground. Ciel frowned and started to feel guilty. He had made Alois depressed.
                          
"Alois, has anybody asked you? Like, a date? I bet a lot of girls want to go with you."
                          
"Yes, I have been asked, several times in fact. But I don't know why they asked. Who would want to go with me?" Tears started to well up in Alois's eyes. Ciel did the first thing that came to mind. He grabbed Alois's hands and intertwined their fingers. He used his other hand to reach into his backpack and pull out the dance poster. He looked Alois straight in the eyes, trying not to get lost in the icy blue depths.
                          
"Alois, would you like to go to the dance with me? I mean, you don't have to if you don't wan-"
                          
"YES! Of course I'll go with you! I was waiting for you to ask, silly," Alois answered, his voice bubbling with happiness. Ciel did his best to fight his blush, but failed miserably. 
                          
"Good. Let's go home." They both walked home together, still holding each other's hands.
                          
-----Time Skip-----
                          
It was the night of the dance, and both of the boys were a mess. 
                          
"I can't find anything good to wear! Claude! Help me pick out the perfect outfit," Alois commanded his butler.
                          
"Yes, your highness," he coldly replied. He went to Alois's closet and picked out his favorite outfit. Black shorts, a white button up shirt, his favorite purple jacket, and he finalized it with a green ribbon around Alois's neck. 
                          
"This is perfect, Claude! You may go now," Alois waved off his butler as he looked himself over in the mirror. I hope Ciel likes this, he thought as he continued to spruce himself up. 
                          
Meanwhile with Ciel...
                          
Ciel was already dressed and ready to go. With the help of his butler, Sebastian, he had finally chosen his outfit. He was wearing knee length blue shorts, a black button up shirt, and a blue tailcoat. I hope Alois will enjoy himself tonight, Ciel thought. And with that, he got into his car and Sebastian drove him to pick up Alois. 
                          
As soon as they pulled up in the blonde's driveway, Ciel could feel butterflies in his stomach. He slowly walked toward the front door and knocked. He didn't have to wait long. As soon as his hand came off of the door, it flung open revealing Alois. 
                          
"Ciel! I've been waiting for you! Are you ready to go?"
                          
"Of course. Let's go," Ciel made a bold move and grabbed Alois's hand yet again. He smiled and they walked to the car together. 
                          
-----Time Skip Again-----
                          
Ciel and Alois walked into the gym, still hand in hand. Music blared and light flashed.
                          
"Wow! Is this what high school dances are like?" Alois asked, distracted by all of the people.
                          
"Well, I guess we'll see when we're older."
                          
"So you're saying that when the next dance comes around, you'll ask me again?" Alois smirked.
                          
"M-Maybe. You'll have to find out," Ciel's blush was hidden in the darkness.
                          
"Come on, Ciel! Let's dance!" Alois dragged Ciel to the dance floor. He was pretty stiff at first, but he soon warmed up. They danced the night away, lost in each other's eyes.

"I can't wait for the next dance, Ciel. Thanks for inviting me. Now next time, I'll ask you! That's a promise."
                          
"W-Whatever..."
